Windows 7 really slow with Crystal Report
I recently replaced a computer in our small office running windows xp with a new one running windows 7. The xp machine was an old P4 with 512 mb of DDR RAM. The new machine is an Athlon 64 with 1 gb of DDR2 RAM. So, in general, much faster machine.
BUT...we have a proprietary piece of software that runs Crystal Reports from a gui and queries a SQL server. For some reason, in Windows 7, I get the spinning blue wheel for about 40 seconds before it pops up the results of the report to the screen (took about 3 seconds on the old P4 in XP). If the same report is sent directly to the printer, however, it comes out almost instantly. I plan on contacting the software vendor, but I was curious if anyone has a suggestion of what might be making this take so long, or even how I could find out.
